Detailed Reviews
We stayed in the basic twin room and it was outstanding. The hotel went above and beyond our expectations, food was great, staff was very personable and location is perfect! We ate at their restaurant for every meal and they included us in their staff tea time and taught my boyfriend how to fly the kites. Never made us feel anything less than how you’d feel at home, thank you Dev Niwas!

If you are in Bundi, Dev Niwas is the place you ought to stay. Nestled in heart of Bundi town this 400 year old haveli has un obstructed views of the Garh Palace.
The place doesn’t have a dedicated parking space but that’s no shortcoming at all as they take care enough to shuttle you around to the Garh Palace where you can park your vehicle.
The staff in general is quite courteous and are always welcoming.
We stayed in a standard room which was the cheapest room we have stayed in our lifetime and trust me there were no complaints except we wished the walls and washrooms to provide better sound insulation.
They have a restaurant on their rooftop to serve your dietary needs and are quite flexible with your seating requirements, one thing I missed while having a candle lit dinner there was that the Garh Palace itself was not illuminated (not Dev Niwas’s fault though).

4 of us stayed for 3 nights , rooms were great . We ate in the restaurant on 2 occasions , both meals were great . Meetou was great( hope I've spelt his name correctly) , he was funny and kind to us . The view from the roof top was amazing , we enjoyed watching the monkeys leaping from building to building.

This is a great place right in the heart of Bundi. Cars can't make it right to the hotel because of the narrow streets, so the hotel meets you with a tuk-tuk for the last few hundred metres. The hotel is built around a courtyard and the rooms are spacious and well decorated. The communal areas are attractive and filled with historical paintings and artefacts.
The restaurant has a fine view over the town and up to the fort which is floodlit in the evening. You can watch the monkeys playing on the rooftops. The food is quite basic but good.
The manager and staff are very friendly and welcoming.
Our trip coincided with the Bundi Utsav - a real bonus. We were lucky to see the parade from the fort through the town and it was a highlight of our trip.

We were a group of 8 visiting Bundi. It was an overall lovely experience staying at Dev Niwas haveli and I can assure you that this is the best place to stay at Bundi.
Special thanks to Mr. Suraj for his wonderful service and hospitality. He ensured that we have a wonderful experience and took care of everything from preparing our meals to cleaning the rooms and ensuring a safe parking place for our vehicles. He also helped us with our luggage.
Would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Bundi.

We spent one night at the hotel. It is well located and clean with friendly management. View from the roof is excellent. The food is adequate, not special. Make sure your expectations of the rooms are in line. These are basic local rooms, nothing fancy, not the normal amenities Westerners might expect. The door has a padlock, not a typical hotel room key/pass. No safe or hair dryer or hotel phone in the room. The street noise on one side of the hotel is very loud, so much so that we had to move rooms. The second room was quiet. Probably the best option if you're staying in Bundi. But it's just a basic, clean hotel, with a nice roof view, not a lot more.

This is a beautiful hotel tucked away down a tiny side street, if you didn't know where it was you would be hard to find it!! We had a very spacious room which was very comfortable. We ate on the roof so we could see across Bundi rooftops as well as the fort on the hillside. As it was Diwali we had fireworks in the evening which was spectacular

No fault of the hotel, but Bundi is such a damned place. Unlike tourist spots that try to attract tourists, or the ones that are indifferent to it, and take no measures to encourage tourism, Bundi feels like it's making special effort to keep tourists off. I have visited throughout India, all of Rajasthan, but haven't seen a city as horrible as Bundi. The streets are narrow, like narrow as hell, with traffic to the brim of it, full of horns, pedestrians, two wheelers, cars, randomly parked vehicles, cows all covering a 12 foot road throughout. No effort by the city authorities to atleast make way so that any tourist can reach the fort and destinations. The Traffic is very very bad. Your four wheeler won't enter the roads, and if you're stubborn, they'll get stuck. My car couldn't reach this hotel that I booked and seeing the hotch-potch of this city I let go of my reservation and dashed out of this god forsaken city at once, well.... in an hour actually cuz of the traffic. No parking at the hotel. No prior information by the hotel that you should take this or that route to reach the hotel or that four wheeled vehicles can't reach it.
If you're an Indian visiting with family, avoid this city. If you're a foreigner reaching by bus or some other transport, staying at this hotel, and walking about the narrow streets, it might work for you, but hey, there are much better places to visit in India. So be your own judge.

We stayed here for two nights and had the place more or less to ourselves the tourist trade being very slack still in these parts.
The staff made us really welcome and laid out a candle-lit dinner on the roof.
Due to the narrow streets you can't reach this hotel by car but must stop a little way off and come the last few hundred yards on the hotel tut-tut.
This is a really old building built around a courtyard but has modern facilities and we would have liked to stay longer.

What a great discovery this little Haveli is, which has a lot of charm. A warm and attentive welcome. Spacious and nicely decorated rooms around a patio which now accommodates a small pool for cooling off..!
The owner we met on site told us about work to upgrade the rooms. In particular, they plan to redo the bathrooms.
The restaurant on the roof top terrace offers a very nice Indian menu of excellent quality.
The view of the Palace is magnificent.
The Dev Niwas belongs to the same family as the Jagat Niwas Palace in Udaipur which is just magical.
